Sickeningly happy couples need this barf bag wedding program (a free wedding printable!)

We recently featured a gorgeous poly-friendly wedding featuring blanket seating, a falcon ring bearer, a fabulous floral gown, and these epic BARF BAG programs for… wait for it, a sickening happy couple. We were all obsessed with these barf bag programs. We hooked up with Tabitha of Haven Page Design (the designer of said original bags!) to see if we could snag our own version of a barf bag favor in free printable form. She obliged and she rocked it!

How to make large paper succulent centerpieces (or bouquets!)

These paper succulents are a larger version of this amazing Lia Griffith tutorial. Her templates are built so that all 10 petal pieces fit on a standard letter size sheet of paper. This is great for the smaller, 2.5″ size flowers, but we needed to get beefy with these leafy blossoms!

Make a DIY wedding garland from materials sent by friends & family

A really special part of the decor were all the felted garlands that hung around the reception and ceremony. Family and friends from around the world created these, sending packages full of felted balls to us during the engagement. We strung these and used them as decoration to create a cozy, intimate feel, as well as include guests who couldn’t attend.

Itty bitty heart wedding decor gives up your secrets

Michelle wrote down hundreds (thousands? Girl, I don’t even know) of little-known facts about herself and Chris on the cutest little 3D paper hearts. As you can see in the photo, these are gorgeous, tiny ickle decorative bits to strew around your reception tables. But, in addition to looking rad, they can keep guests young and old occupied with all the little facts they never knew about you both.

Printable food allergy labels for your wedding catering: download in TWO styles

Chances are if you’re offering food at your wedding, you’re already thinking about potential allergy and dietary issues. We all either have our own dietary needs and/or know someone who eats vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or otherwise. How much of a load off would it be for your special diet guests to see these helpful free printable food allergy and dietary labels on the table? No need to guess at what’s in the recipe or eat that protein bar in their bag instead.
